. Connected with said ipe 6 adjacent to the branch pipe 7 is the branch pipe 14 with whlch said branch 7 is confluent at saidpipe. 6, and so-together said branches are in com- 1 munication with said pipe 6 as a commoninlet to the interiorof the smoke house. The pipe 14 is connected with the smoke producmg box 15 and connects with the interior thereof. In said box is the spiral conveyor.

and agitator 16, which is adapted to be rotated by-any suitable means, said box having also thehopper 17 for supplying saw-dust to sand box 15 the outlet 18 for ashes andthe cook or valve 19 for the admission of air.

Below the box 15, is thegas or other burner or, stove 20. .whereby saidbox-and its con tents may be heated. Owing to said cock or valve 19, I am enabled to create a draft through thevsmokebox for efi'ectively directingthe smoke therefrom into the pipe 14.

The operation is as follows The box 15 is supplied with saw dust or other material employed for-smoking meats, a and thesame, is agitated by the conveyer 16' my be and. fedfrom oneend of the box tothe other while, it-is sulg'ected to the heated condition of the box, an

while fresh atmospheric air is driven by the blower 12 into the coil 8, and from. the latter into :the branch pipe 7 and consequently into said pipe 6, whereby the smoke is eject andfrom thenceinto the distributing pipes 5, the perforated pipes 2 and easing 1 in jets filling said casing therewith so that the meats in the casing will be effectively and. sanitarily smoked this being accomplished 0 so itis converted into smoke, which leaves the box and enters the branch pipe 14, and consequently the'pipe 6.
